22. Murphy Combat Company Vietnam SOG Commemorative. This is an extremely rare commemorative. The certificate included says that they made one for each branch of the service in Vietnam. This one was made for the US Army. I have never seen another. This knife has been in my office since it was purchased new in about 1999. We think that possibly they didn’t sell well and were discontinued before the 2500 were manufactured and sold. This is a beautiful blade with 24 karat gold figures of Hueys, rice paddies, U.S. soldiers, etc. Absolutely mint with the original presentation box (looks like cherry wood to me), knife is actual size and weight. Very ornately engraved guard and pommel. I can send more close up pictures if you are interested. Serial # 1312 on ricasso. Original certificate of authenticity.

The blade has use, sharpening and some old spotting. The blade tip is blunted just a bit and I believe the blade was cleaned and buffed. The handles are black imitation bone with no damage. I have been told by a fellow collector that it is probable that it has been re-handled. After doing more research, it appears that M2 knives with this blade markings all had bone handles rather than black imitation bone. If it has been re-handled I certainly can't tell it. The action is strong and it locks up tight. It also comes with a lanyard. Ref: Cole III pg 144 #1------$ 225.00 Note: No Paypal With This Item.

84. FAKE F/S--The following information is being presented in the hope that other collectors will not get burnt:
Fake 2nd Pattern F/S--Made to be a Free French Variation--The 6 7/8" blade is blackened, under the black is what appears to be a copper plating or coating. The guard has a small Broad Arrow on the top side. The blackened knurled grip has a large Cross imbedded in the knurling. The Cross is aprox 1/2" tall and 3/8" wide. After talking with a couple friends, John Fischer and Tom Parker and re-reading a section of Ron Flook's book, I have come to the conclusion that this thing is bogus.
This additional information came from fellow collector Kerry Gordon. (thanks Kerry)
I just thought that you might like to know that you weren't the only one ever caught with one of these - not only do I have the French version but I also have one with the Belgian Rampant Lion stamped into the hilt.

The real give away with these is that the blade tang doesn't run all the way through the pommel nut, there's about two threads empty at the end of the nut. The other thing is that the brass pommel nuts are painted with gloss black paint rather than blackened.

Someone spent a lot of time and effort on these, the blades really are tinned under the blackening and the hilts are blackened brass that is reasonable well checkered.
